Getting paid to go on vacation, throw lavish parties, and toss back a few glasses of champagne with every meal must be hard, and no one knows that better than The Real Housewives of Orange County. So Bravo compensates by making sure these SoCal ladies’ paychecks are no small chunk of change. A source has exclusively filled RadarOnline.com in on what these ladies get paid per season, and the results may surprise you — find out who makes the most and who is barely scraping by!
Some housewives come and go, but Vicki Gunvalson is forever. The original OC housewife has been on every season, and her paycheck reflects her ability to continue mucking through all the endless drama. (One must never forget her ex Brooks Ayers’ infamous cancer scandal.) The insider claims this divorcee gets paid $750,000 per season!
Tamra Judge, Vicki’s best friend slash worst enemy depending on the season, makes almost as much as the original OC housewife. According to the source, the resident pot stirrer cashes in a check of $600,000 grand per season, which should go a long way towards spoiling her granddaughter, Ava Vieth.

Ava’s dad and Tamra’s son, Ryan Vieth, makes a surprisingly decent cut of money per season as well! The 31-year-old and his estranged fiancée, Sarah Rodriguez, split a $200,000 lump sum per season, claims the source. The duo have provided plenty of drama with their up and down relationship, which Tamra loves meddling in, naturally.
But who’s making the saddest pile of cash? Kelly Dodd! The divisive housewife only makes $150,000 per season, the insider added, which is one of the smallest paychecks in the history of the show!
Would you return to the show if you were Kelly? Do you think the other paychecks are fair? Let us know in the comments!
